  • the pipeline lining 80 can be pushed outwards, so that the pipeline lining 80 , for example with the side impregnated with resin, can be pressed outwards, i.e. in the direction of the pipe 100 .
  • the pipeline lining 80 can be fully positioned. The calibration tube 70 can then be removed.
  • the pipeline lining 80 can be cured for example by means of steam or by means of infrared radiation.
